The Largest Pumping Engine in the World

This engine is used for pumping the water from the zinc mines at Friedens- ville Penn These mines themselves will bear a little description. The principal. or largest mine, is nothing more or less than great quarry, some- thing like the iron ore mines ia Salis- bury, Conn.,, before the shafts were sunk and underground mining begun. This hole is about 25O feet deep and the ore, which is of slatish grey color, is drawn out by steam power, on switch back track, so that an empty car going down helps to pull full car up by means of cable attached to both of them and carried over pulley at the top. On arriving at the surface the ore is put through the breaker and then sent to the furnaces, where 1t is melted and made into salable form.
 In connection with the mines the company own several furnaces on New York harbor, and are building seven more at Friedensville, where the com mercial zinc will be made.
 This zinc is very remarkable, as 1t
  lead, as that of all other mines does, for this reason there is constant demand for 1t and the supply seems to be unlimited. There are also underground shafts, the zinc from them being used in the oxide works at the same place.
 The pump itself was made in Phila- delphia in 1870 and has been in use ever since. It is an upright engine, 55 to 60 feet high, of the single action kind Its cylinder IS no inches inside diameter and about 16 feet long The piston rod is 15 inches in diameter and is connected with the walking beam. which is 40 feet long, IA feet wide and at the middle is nine feet thick it IS balanced on steel tennions two feet in diameter, and as it does not seem heavy enough has several tons of lead at one end to balance the extra weight of the pumping rods proper, which run down under ground out of sight. To insure steady motion two hy-wheels 34 feet in diameter, weighing many tons, are attached, and are turned by power ful steel crank rods 30 feet long. It has an indicated horse power of $500, but of course this is not so much as its actual power by any means by increasing the steam supply it can do one-third more than that At ordinary times it pumps 4OOO gallons per minute, 24 hours day, making five and three quarter million gallons day, but on a pinch 1t can do almost double that. This would be water enough for city of 100000 inhabitants, allowing 5G gallons to each individual. It takes ten or twelve strokes Q minute, and is very silent in its action. The steam Is fur. nished by 16 boilers in an adjoining building The whole thing is a marvel of mechanical genius. It was built by Merrick & Sons, at cost of S50O,0 900.

The second formal ballot resulted as fol

On motion of Mir. Mercy, of Louisiana, the choice of Chicago as the place for holding the next national convention was declared unanimous. On motion of Mr. Rollins, of New Hampshire, the time for the meeting was fixed for Tuesday, the 18th of June. A resolution was offered and adopted for the appointment of committee of seven with power to take centrolef the building for the convention and to make the necessary ar arrangements for holding the convention. The chairman stated that be would select the committee and announce it subsequently,. Governor Gillette of Dakota offered resolu- ton allowing the territory of Dakota six del egates at large in the national convention and made speech in support of 1t: Opposition was made by several members oa the ground that the committee had no jurisdiction in the matter. An amendment was offered by MT. Carey, the delegate from Wyoming, to allow the terri tories of Dakota and Washington to elect four contingent delegates in addition to the two regular delegates, whose addition would be decided by the convention. The amend ment was agreed to and the resolution as amended was adopted. A motion was made providing for the election of delegates from the District of Columbia. It was adopted in the form of resolution allowing them to be chosen in a convention called by the central committee of the district. MT. Littler, of Illinois, moved that the chairman and secre- tary of the committee be instructed to pre- pare and publish call for the national con vention; agreed to. A resolution was offered and adopted recommending the committee to push the campaign work between now and the meeting of the convention.
 Mr. Gallagher, delegate from the New York workingmen's party, was on applica- tion admitted to present the views of that party He asked of the committee some recognition of the cause of labor. He wanted the committee to further the views of the labor party in the direction of>a high tariff, a strong navy, more coast defences, internal improvements, compulsory education and other matters, and to use up the surplus and protect the labor of American workingnen. They asked for the enfranchisement of the white slaves as they had witnessed that of the black slaves. On motion of MT. Conger, of Ohio, the hearty and full cooperation of the committee was voted to the men repre- scented by Mir. Gallagher. A vote of thanks was given to the Republican league of Wash ington for the kindness and courtesy ex- tended to the committee in placing it's club house at the disposition of the committee and then, at 730, the committee finally ad- iourned

McCosh and spoke on the same topic. He limited himself to organized capital and labor. Every citizen, he said, is voter and every one can see that the individual counts for much in shaping public action, but in these matters the individual is becoming of less account The corporation and the trades union absorb him and these tendencies both help and are necessary to each other. The seeming antagonism, said the speaker, of capital is 8 manifestation of the same force Managers of corporations as well as those of labor organizations have ridden rough shod over the rights of minorities and individuals. The church should be fearless in protesting in the style of Nathan when he darel to say to King David, f'Thou art the man." Bribery on the part of corporations and the boycott on the part of labor are intolerable sins against the very life of society, far more than against capitalor labor. When the employer is corporation instead of an individual there is less chance for ethical considerations to restrict injustice. There is great opportu- nifty for the church to act as a moderator. A general discussion of the subject followed in which E. H. Rogers of Chelsea, Mass, and others took part.

Herr mest Gets one year.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Herr John Most, the Anarchist, who was convicted of misdemean- or, was arraigned ln the general sessions court to day. His counsel, MT. Howe, ar gued in his behalf for new trial. Assistant District Attorney Nicoll said he hoped Judge Cowing would not snb&ert all preeedents of law by reniewing the verdict. Judge Cow ing said he would deny the motion, but that he would grant certificate to the Supreme court general term, where the whole case might be heard. Most asserted his inno- eence and made an appeal to Judge Cowing not to sentence an innocent man and to make use of such discretion as lay in his power. Judge Cowing's only reply was: s'The sen- tence of this court is that you be confined in the penitentiary for 8 period of one year without the fine" Most was then taken back to the Tombs.
 MT. Howe, counsel for John Most, has ob- tained from Judge Donahue writ of habeas corpus returnable tomorrow when applica- ton will be made to admit Most to bail

the party in the State, showing that it had
 been one of growth. He stated these facts,
 he said, to show the National Republican
 committee that the organization of Virginia
 was not inefficient or unsuccessful and as-
 sured the national Republican party Vir- year to the Republican candidate for the presidency.
 Governor Gillette, of Dakota, presented the claims of the people of that territory to the recognition of the Republican national committee and said they would send delegates to the next convention on the basis of two territories and he hoped they would be recognized and admitted. He de- scribed the treatment of Dakota by the pres- ent administration of the blaekestsspage in the blackest book of American history. They had been afflicted by a man of Sparks, whose aim appeared to be to deprive the people of their homesteads on most frivolous pEetences. He begged the committee to let the conven- ton sit near to the people of Dakota. The situation of that territory to-day presented a stronger political issue in behalf of the Re- publican party than the territory of Kansas did when the Republicans nominated Lin coin in Chicago. Minneapolis was their nearest city. Dakota was really an annex to Minnesota Governor Gillette was followed by Colonel Plumber of Dakota, who made an amusing and energetic speech.
 The formal papers presenting the claims of Chicago, Minneapolis and Omaha were submitted and it was moved that the committee proceed to an informal ballot. An amendment was offered that the vote be viva voce instead of by ballot. The amendment was adopted, 30 to IT, The informal vote viva voce resulted as follows: For Chicago Ii, Omaha 10, Cin- cinnati 8, Minneapolis 6, Philadelphia 9, St. Louis 9, Washington l. The committee then proceeded to vote formally, each State or territorial representative stepping up to the chairman's table as the State or territory was called and depositing his vote in hat. The ballots thus deposited were counted by two tellers (Haynes of Maine and Conger of Ohio) and the result was announced as fol- IoWs:
